IoT based – Inventory/Warehouse Management System

Connected devices and sensors in products and materials help organizations to ensure they can produce and ship the right quantity of goods at the right price to the right place at the right time. All of these features fall under the internet of things (IoT).

Such IoT data can integrate into a WMS to help manage routing of the products from the pick-up point to the end point. This integration enables organizations to develop pull-based supply chains, rather than push-based supply chains. Pull-based supply chains are driven by customer demand, which allows the organization more flexibility and responsiveness, while a push-based supply chain is driven by long-term projections of customer demand.

IoT provides visibility into the supply chain from the ordering of materials till the shipment reaches the end customer or 3PL warehouses.

Challenges faced by warehouses include lack of space, offloading delays, improper space utilization, limited scope for improving revenues, and a dearth of visibility into partially used locations.

Delmon’s Location Optimizer solution offers location-specific utilization information in real time. It removes the need for manual planning of location usage and generates reports for consolidation of location. The solution has a direct interface with warehouse management systems.

Delmon has developed a solution that leverages the power of IoT through utilization of smart devices in the warehouse, simplifying the critical order management process. The solution prevents mix-ups in the event of a large number of SKUs.
